Morning and afternoon; been busy, pulling weeds and helping a neighbor weed her gardern, reseeding my yard and trying to get ready for Farm Fest on Sat. since I'll be having a yard sale at the same time.

L4L, have a friend here with 6 pitbulls; 3 are not friendly and 2 are okay. So much depends on socializing them. They do keep a close watch on their dogs though. Another neighbor has 1 pitbull that is tied all the time and is starting to turn mean. Take care.

Off to work some more so have a great day all.

Have fun Trippy. I'm with you. There used to be a big pit bull across the street and I took him home all the time. However, it is way too hot out there for anyone to leave a dog out. My backyard is all shade and my dogs are still way more in than out these days.

How is your gang?

Passing through, lots accomplished and lots to go to finish todays todo list. Washing walls and cabinets in kitchen and family room and then painting and staining whatever needs it. My goal is to have two rooms done today so need to get back to it.

Speakers on my PC went out so must play Halo 1 without sound. Sound sure kinda rounds out a game doesn't it. What do these electronics do at night anyway because everything breaks during nighttime and these did too. I will be at Walmart in Giddings tomorrow and can get them there if any look pretty good otherwise I'll order some through Amazon.

Gosh Ana, I get tired just reading your chores. Although when I was younger I could do stuff like that and throw in simple plumbing and carpentry. Now it's "work, I don't want to work, what do I want to work for".

Getting the urge to bake something, like real dense moist apple cake. That is so good.

Neighbors -half mile away- have a female pit bull and she was so kind and gentle. They have moved -I hope they take good care of her- she used to come over here.

Sun blazing hot today

I am passing through as well. Hello to all of you! I Have missed you while being too worried to post much. The Great News is my Mum does not have to have surgery for her hernia as long as she doesn't pick up anything much over five pounds. She is the busiest 93 year old and very hard to contain at times! The winds have died down for the past three days and I am very happy about this too. I am finally seeing a few little green sprouts of things planted coming up, hooray!! we are going to be inundated with tomatoes this year. I hope to make and can lots of salsa and tomato sauce. If anyone has a proven recipe for sauce from raw tomatoes and wants to share it.... ??!! Today we are just being lazy slugs and hanging out. Tomorrow Jerry has to go to a Memorial for his ex boss. He was killed last week by a falling tree. Such a sad thing. My Mum provides me with the welcome excuse for not going......did I really admit to that??? Heading back to the couch and my book aka Kindle. Happy Gaming everyone!!

Hi guys. I've had a busy day although I didn't have to work. I went to Waltham to the pain clinic to check in. Long ride home. Bad timing. The route 128 at 5:00 is not where I wanted to be but I needed to be brave and just drive it. Home now and looking at my day for tomorrow. I work from 8:00 to 11:00 in the morning, then I have a CAT scan around 11:00 to find out if I have a hernia or if it's something more serious. Will know soon I hope. Have a good night all.

Ahhhh, we have dined and fed dogs. Hubby helped me with a game problem....he's not called my Kisa for nothing. Dishwasher is running. Now it's time to call it a night and read. My book loan is about to expire

Lotus, your mother sounds precious. I hope you can keep her from lifting. You are among friends here...feel free to admit to being yourself. What are you reading?

Soot

Midgy, I hope you have answers soonest and feel better quickly. Was the pain clinic any help?

Sweet dreams all

I am utterly exhausted. I finished everything but the painting in the two rooms. I stained the kitchen cabinets though and they look great. I also did an end table in the family room and I am pleased with the results so I will do the other one tomorrow. I would have finished but I forgot to get spackle.

L4L, I could just hug you...just because!! My Mum is just that. You may laugh but one of the first freebie books I downloaded was David Copperfield. I honestly have never read it and am now over half way through. I don't think people today have half the brains they did back then....I guess why this is called a classic, lol. So much thought went into everything they said...we are so careless with our speech. Anyway, I hope you sleep well Ana!!! Good Night everyone!!
